Emotions running high....

This coming Monday, Charlie will be joining his sister everyday at Janet's. I am extremely emotional about it and am dreading it. It's never easy leaving your babies. I know that I am blessed to have such a wonderful caregiver for my children, but that doesn't negate the anxiety and emotions I am struggling with. I thought it would get easier with the next baby and well, it doesn't. It seems more difficult with Charlie because of all that we have been through these last 11 months. He is also much more attached to me and has way more separation anxiety than Lily ever did. Lily is my love the one your with, child. She has never met a stranger and can adapt to any situation very quickly. Charlie is a mama's boy 100% and looks for me around every corner. I'm the one who knows what his cries mean. I know the right way to put him down for naps. I know how to turn his tears in to smiles. Throw in his food allergy and I just get a little beside myself. I know that it will end up being fine and the first week or so will be tough, but my head is having a hell of a time explaining that to my heart.

I don't have any words of wisdom, never been in your shoes..but if Janet is anything like me..You have nothing to worry about..He will be loved and that is what matters most. Hope it goes well for you!
